38 fantastic do-gooders took to the streets of Lambeth last night to run to Myatt's Field, a community-run park near Brixton, for some serious tasking and fitness fun.

We started off by welcoming 7(!!!) new faces - Claire, Maeva, Ben, Kate, Miles, Maisie and Ryan! Give them a massive cheer!! ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘

We also heard about Tim, Beth and Ruth's weekend trip to Monsal with GoodGymers from all over (check out the run report here) and we mentioned the big GG trip to SOFIA in BULGARIA in May. Get involved!

This month's SPOTM prize was truly dreadful with a mix of party hat from Katie's last run, a selection of distinctly average hotel biscuits, some notepad paper from Aston Villa and a Strava sticker. The worthy winner was Beth Hoskins who recently smashed her SEVEN HUNDREDTH GOOD DEED. 700. omg.

And talking of Strava, GoodGym Lambeth now has it's very own Strava Club which you can be a part of! Check out what training runs other people have been up to and give them many kudos!

John ensured everyone was warmed up and we headed off into the night. Steve and Nicky lead a 5k route and myself and Lucy took half the group on a 2k jaunt. When we arrived at Myatt's Field, gardening expert Taye showed us the task he had planned and we got cracking.

We had a huge pile of twigs, branches, leaves and dirt to sift through, separating it into compost and stuff that would turn into compost eventually. The compost was moved into a huge bag and the rest was wheelbarrowed over to a pile for composting. But separating the 2 needed the help of a massive sieve... which came in the form of a shopping trolley! It was basically like making a cake - Ingredients go in the top, wonderful brown compost comes out the bottom!

Taye was very grateful and said it was great to have so many of us there. We got a big job done which would normally take one person ages to do.

๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ

We threw in some Meet & Retreat around the park, working on keeping a steady pace at different tempos. It was dark, some people nearly got lost, but thankfully everyone was looking well worked out by the end!

We headed back as a big group and did a few stretches to finish.

Ace work GG Lambeth!!

Next week we need all hands on deck with a whopping 3 tasks! Sign up here.
